Everton boss David Moyes intends to tie down his best players to new contracts.

The News of the World says Everton's eye-catching form means increased interest in his stars. But David Moyes is determined to allow NO major departures.

And that is why any substantial financial outlay will be on improved deals for players already at Goodison.

These will include midfield ace Steven Pienaar, 27, who is said to be attracting interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Jack Rodwell, 18, and Dan Gosling, 20, are on long deals but could be offered better terms to fend off any interest.
